Masahiro Ito, the designer of Silent Hill 2's monsters, created the character because he wanted "a monster with a hidden face".

A Diametrix hair cut is an evolutionary technique of cutting curly hair because it features an inner layer sliding texturizing cut, which is proven to work on every hair texture.

Similar to a mullet, the style features more body and volume at the crown of the head (the head of the octopus) and then longer, thinner, shag-like layers from the mid-shaft to ends (the tentacles). Though the octopus haircut is inspired by both the mullet and shag, it is neither.
